For the Love of Curling

While the sunshine is still around and hockey on the horizon with training camps currently underway others are turning to a different sport involving ice.

Canada’s curling community has a scholarship program which is an investment for applicants that are assessed on their academic accomplishments as well as those having aspirations as well as their volunteer contributions made to their community.

Those that are successful will use the scholarship funds for the 2019-20 school year to cover part of their education and curling cost.

In order to be considered the applicant is required to be enrolled (full-time) for at least two semesters at a Canadian university or college.

They must also be registered to compete for Canadian Team Ranking System points during the complete 2019-20 curling season.

Some of Canada’s up-and-coming curling athletes will receive some financial help after being named recipients of the 2019 Curling Canada For the Love of Curling scholarships.

There were 62 applications applying for the scholarships, which are one of the highlighted initiatives of Curling Canada’s philanthropic program.

A selection committee had to narrow down the list of deserving applicants to the 10 recipients, which was obviously not an easy task.

Maureen Miller, Chair of the Curling Canada Board of Governors mentioned “I was extremely proud to be part of this process, and while it was difficult to narrow the list down to 10 recipients, it was also encouraging to learn more about such an amazing group of young athletes.”

Miller continued, “As a sport, I can tell you that we are in good hands going forward. We have extremely talented young curlers, but just as importantly, they are exceptional citizens within their communities.”
